I had this frame modified by Bilenky Cycle Works in Philly with S&S couplings. The couplings allow this bike to be broken down and put in a 26"x 26"x 10" box which will ship on airlines as regular luggage.

Very cool! If you don't mind me asking, about how much did the couplers and modifications allowing it to be broken-down cost?

$550.00 to do a retrofit on a steel bike.

That's still less than four titanium couplers on a new custom frame.
